Hey guys this is my new story. Just like my other story this started off as a day dream and I just really wanted to write it out.
Don't worry I will still be updating "Rescue Me" but my readers know my update patterns are horrible but I hope you guys enjoy this story. This story is solely Natsu point of view.

I wonder why I have to get up and get ready for school on these dreadful week days. It such a pain and I could care less about people there and what ever school has to offer. I mean, I barely listen to my teachers and I do have a few "friends" even though they are more like acquaintances. This uniform is pretty neat though, when I unbutton it a little and untuck it. Just adjusting it like that is against school rules though which is another reason why I dread waking up for this school. It's too strict and it pisses me off, I just want to chill and lay back but no I have to study hard and get good grades. It's not hard though, I am really smart despite being so laid back and not caring. I look at the clock and see the time "I'm going to be late again. " I mumble to myself.
I run to school despite being late already but, running is an amazing exercise so might as well make going to school a benefit for myself. I make it in the building and start casually walking to class. I open the door to see my fellow classmates looking up at me for a second then shoving their faces back in the textbooks. "Natsu, take your seat. " the teacher orders me with a sigh. I don't blame him for giving up on me but it took longer than I expected. I take my seat and take out my textbook. I open it up then I read the first two sentences and next thing I know my mind starts to wonder off and I'm daydreaming about me eating food. Which only reminded me that I didn't eat breakfast and that there wasn't any breakfast cooked in the first place. Hmm, that's weird. Usually mom makes breakfast for me... She probably got called in early at last minute again. I feel bad for her, I wish they would stop burdening her. Just aggravates my soul.
I hear the bell ring and it honestly scared me really bad that I actually jumped up from my seat. Thank goodness no one really paid attention to me. I walk out of class heading for the roof when I accidentally bumped into someone. "I'm so sorry." A female voice apologizes which makes me look down to see whom it belong to. I see a blonde girl scrambling around to pick up the papers that fell. I lean down to help her out, I do feel bad. "It's okay, I'm sorry as well." She gets up with the papers she picked up and then I hand her the ones I picked up. She smiles and thanks me. "By the way my name is Natsu. May I know your name?" She extends her hand for me to shake "My name is Lucy, pleasure meeting you." I shake her hand then I look at the nice watch she is wearing "I like your watch, where did you get it from?" I seriously want to know. That watch would look great on me. Maybe, me and this girl can be watch buddy's. "Thank you, I got it from Walmart." She giggles. Man, she seems like such a sweetheart. "Thank you for letting me know." The warning bell for us to get to our next class rang, we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways.
I love coming to the roof, it's surprisingly clean and always deserted. I love just laying down and looking at the sky. I honestly admit that I'm envious of the clouds, they are always free and could go wherever just floating and chilling. They are my masters just like the mole are masters for earth bending, the dragon is for fire bending, and the flying bison is for air bending. The clouds are my masters for chilling. My eyes starts getting heavy so I took a nap on the roof.
Why is it so dark? Can't I have a beautiful dream about having fire powers or something? That would be cool, I would be super strong in the best guild ever. What would be that Guilds name? Hmm... Fairy Tail. Man, I just notice that I'm pretty weird. I have no idea on how I even came up with that but I like it nonetheless. But seriously why is it dark in my mind? Shouldn't I be able to control what I see in my own dream? "Hello!" I yell but no answer and no echo. Suddenly smoke comes from the ground lightly. It looks like a misty fog on the ground. "Natsu." Whoever said that... scared. me. so. bad. "Eek!" I shriek. Where is that dang voice coming from? I look around frantically but to no avail.
I decide to walk forward. I mean I can't really figure anything out by standing in one place looking around in the dark. I outstretch my arms before me just in case there is something in front of me that I can't see. "Seriously is someone even here?" Wait, why am I doing this. This is my dream, I can just wake up... But I can't. Oh my gosh, what if I'm in some comma and I didn't even notice!? Mom, I love you so much even though you can't hear me but I just want to let you know I appreciate everything you do. I start crying hysterically. OH GREAT ONE, ALLOW ME TO WAKE UP!
I shot up awake. The first thing I did is look up and repeatedly thank the higher up. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." I wipe the tears off my face and get up. I walk over to the railing and look over to see a bunch of students walking out the school building. Looks like school is over, time to go do some workout in the park. I jog out of school and looking at the students around me. I honestly can't see why they try so hard, some of them still have their heads stuck in books. "Natsu Dragneel! Come here this instance!" The principal roars grabbing the attention of others around me. I walk to him "Yes sir?" I know that he is just going to lecture me on skipping class.
He did just that. "Natsu how many times do I have to tell you to stop skipping class. Where do you go anyways!? You need to start attending..." I mute him and let my mind wonder off. I wonder if mom is home. I would love to help her cook dinner. Hmm... Do we have grocery's? I'll go check real quick then go out shopping if we don't have anything. The principal sighs "I wonder why I still try with you." He turns around and enters in the school while I turn around and run off to my house. It's crazy how I can make them give up on me. Oh well.
I finally arrive in the house and look around the kitchen. It seems like we do have grocery's and mom isn't here yet. Perfect. Now let's get cooking. I take out some meat from the freezer and put it in the microwave to defrost then I take out the rice pouring it into a big pot. I then turn the oven on so it can start pre-heating. After that I grab a smaller pot and pour the beans in there. I grab the big pot of rice and start rinsing it with water then I just let it fill with the water. I turn on the stove for the beans and rice. I'm honestly not the best cook in the world but I just felt like doing something nice for my mom. It feels out of character. I giggle out loud while taking the defrost meat from the microwave then I put it on a pan then start to season it with adobo and sazon. I just notice that I'm cooking an everyday Hispanic dinner. At least this is what I hear the Hispanics say in my class. The oven finish pre-heating so I put the chicken in the oven. I go over to the beans and start stirring them then I did the same with the rice.
I walk to the couch and decide to watch t.v while waiting for the food to cook. I look over and see my mom walk in the house. "Hey mom." I greet her giving her a welcoming smile. She smiles warmly back at me "Hey sweetie." She sniffs the air then looks at me surprised "Your cooking?" She starts giggling "I didn't think you would cook, thank you sweetheart." She honestly made my day. "Anytime mom." She smirks at me "Oh really? Then cook tomorrow and everyday after that." My mouth drops "What? Aw!" I pouts and she bust out laughing, soon I join her in laughing.
"I'll take care of the rest it's already starting to get late. Go do your homework, okay?" I nod my head and head to my room. I didn't have homework because I skip the classes but I don't want her knowing that. I'm honestly surprise they don't call her and at the same time I'm grateful. I lay on my bed and let sleep take over my body.
Gosh darn I'm back in this black world. "HELLO!" I shout at the top of my lungs hoping I can get an answer. I decide to run full speed ahead, this time I don't care if I run into anything. As a matter of fact, I hope I do run into something. I look down to see the mist again. When I look up I see a boy, I don't know who he is. "Who are you?" I ask him and he steps closer, I tried to step back but I can't move my body. "My name is Acnologia." He answers me. When I take a good look at him, he looks really sad. "Why are you sad? Why can't I move? Am I really dreaming?" I bombarded him with questions. He looks at me seriously. "I can only speak to you while you are dreaming and I can control it as well. I want you to do me a favor." I look at him as to tell him to keep going, I honestly don't mind helping a stranger in my dreams because this is just some weird dream. "I want you to save Lucy Heartfilia." Who?
"You bumped into her this morning." Oh that girl. "She killed herself today." My eyes widen. Why would she kill herself? She looked really happy and nice. "Why do I need to save her?" I ask him. "Because I can only enter your mind." I look at him confused then I ask him "What do you want me to do?" He smiles half-heatedly "I'm going to turn back time to a month before now and I want you to keep her from killing herself." Turn back time!? This is by far the most craziest dream that I ever had. "You only have three chances to save her." So meaning that if I can't save her when time restarts I have other chances to try again and time will go back to that month before each time. Sounds legit to me. "I'll do it." He brightens up a little and hugs me. "Thank you." I feel my fingers move. Looks like I can move again so I just hug him back.
There is something that is stuck in my head "Why can't you save her? Why can't you turn back time for her and make sure she doesn't go through whatever she did?" He looks upset again. Darn, I feel bad for asking. "I can only enter a mind of someone who doesn't plan on taking their own life and that is still alive. Your in her class and you seem to have a lot of free time so I thought you would be perfect to help her. Am I wrong to ask you to do this?" Well, I really do have quite a bit of free time. If I help her then I'm defiantly using my time wisely. "You can trust me. I will do my best to save her." He smiles."I won't be in your dreams during the month, the only time I will appear in if you fail." I nod my head.
I woke up. I look around and see that it's day time. Aw man, I slept through dinner. But what a weird dream. I start cracking up then I stop. I really did have a quite depressing dream now that I think about it. Poor girl, why did I give her such a fate in my dream she was such a sweetheart. I better apologize to her even though she won't know why. I giggle thinking about her confuse look. I get up and getting ready to grub on some breakfast since my mom has off on weekends. I walk in the kitchen and I don't see her there. That's weird, I walk to the fridge to get the leftovers from yesterday's dinner. I don't see it in there, did she eat my portion too? No way mom doesn't eat that much. I scratch my head because I am so confuse right now.
I walk to my room and grab from phone. I turn it on then look at it... I dropped my phone and back away from it. "What is going on!? No way!" My hands start shaking. This can't be real! No, I must still be dreaming. I have to be. I pinch myself really hard. "Ow!" It hurt really bad. No! I shouldn't be feeling pain in a dream. I slowly walk to my phone again. I must be seeing things. I look at the date and I start crying. This can't be happening. I can't accept it.
It's June 1st.
